Reasons you will hate me

Please don't let it be Gough Whitlam (cause we need him).

Or Les Murray (he hasn't got his Nobel prize yet).

Maybe Victoria Beckham. Or Britney Spears. Or Nicole Ritchie.

And we can allow Paul Capsis a great death scene, but he must not actually die.

That sounds more like out-loud musing than an official crack at joining the game, duk.



*narrows eyes suspiciously*

can i have lindsay lohan. again.

nicole richie's been taken.

i'll just stick with lindsay.

thanks.

ps i didn't put in $10 last time. tell me if you need a cheque, i know someone won.

well, if nicole's NOT taken, can i have her. as well. again.

thanks

oh, and how are you fits? i know you're there, right now cause you just popped in right before my last comment. pleasant breeze around now, isn't there?

you get three picks, MG. And I'm not sure duk is a fully-engaged member of our heinous society as yet.

p.s. exceptionally well, thank you for asking. And you?

Bugger. Castro's gone? He's not going to make it through January.

I reckon there should be some reward for those whose three all kick the metaphorical during the year.

oh god, please don't make me organise any more than I already have to. I am but a crumbling specimen.

i'll go David hicks. as strongly as i oppose his detention, i still reckon he'll top himself sooner or later.

fidel castro is a communist dictator, those motherfuckers don't die easy

David Hicks is in the "Do Not Pick" list, Kiki. Do try to pay attention.

I have a question for you, Ms Fits - and it's not for Friday Q&A.

If the names are meant to be given in threes, how is it that the 'reserved' list has eight celebrities on it? I know I'm bad at maths, but surely ...

BTW, Michael J Fox? You cruel bastards.

ok then, as you say duk is not firm i go:

1. lindsay lohan
2. nicole richie
3. ariel sharon

and i am very well too, thanks.

BEVIS SWORE!!

HE SAID "BASTARDS"

[jumps up and down and points]

i'll have Brooke Astor, Ruby Mohammad and Albert Hoffman, if they are allowed.

for those who don't know, Brooke Astor is a Philanthropist currently aged 105, Runy Mohammad is the mother of the nation of islam, currently aged 110 and Albert Hoffmann invented LSD, currently aged 101.

Thanks MS Fits for runing this great competition.

how time flies.

I like excuses for memory lane strolls.

mine are:
rupert murdoch
kylie minogue
and I predict that John Howard will mysteriously 'disapear' in Mornington Peninsula waters in true Liberal tradition.

*swallows bile, ignores thoughts of family disinheritance and issues invitation*

well, a girl can dream can't she?

I will take the three biggest funerals of 2007:

Richie Benault
Malcolm Fraser
Quentin Kenihan

Your cheque's in the mail, Fits...

MELBOURNEGIRL USED CAPITAL LETTERS!!

AND TWO EXCLAMATION MARKS!

[jumps up and down and points]



Hehe.

Well, after all, MG ... someone dared to wish death upon the star of my beloved Back to the Future franchise ...

:)

1. Gough Whitlam
2. Harold Holt
3. David Flint

There's 8 because two people picked Elizabeth Taylor and I'm yet to inform catbrain so she may choose again, BEVIS.

Doris Day
Mickey Rooney
Pavarotti

(Understudy - Jimmy Carter)

Be careful with Rooney. I had him last year. THE MAN MAY NEVER DIE.

If God can send in the Grim Reaper please pretty please my Wish List for 2007 is Tony Blair,G.W Bush, John Horward!
All on the same day at the same hour and Lightening would be good if that's not to much trouble?

But my 3 predictions for 2007 are:

The next person who trys to make out with Ms F before me.


Seriously Now my 3 picks are.

1)Muhammad Ali- No one should have to die so ungracfully.

2)Margaret Thatcher- Iron Arse because I hater her even more then Howard and she should never have been born in the first place in my opinion!

3)Lauren Bacall- She getting on and Bogey really misses her and is getting sick of being faithful.
PS: $10 bucks is a bit stiff I have $ 5 and I will trade sex of the winners choices for the other five.

1 Claude Levi-Strauss
2 Alexander Solzhenitsyn
3 JD Salinger

I thought Mickey Rooney died a few months ago?!

Hello Ms Fits Happy New Year and all that.

1.Nelson Mandela
2.Alan Jones(Sydney Radio personality & professional prick)
3.Kirsty Allen(only because I picked her last year and figure the odds will kick in eventually)


Should be an interesting year.

Bud Tingwall,
Osama bin laden
and
phillip ruddock, but I'm not sure that the attorney general hasn't been having a weekend at bernie's for the last four years.

Sorry about the incorrect spelling my last pick should read
3.Kirstie Alley

But you knew who I meant anyway, didn't you !!

Put me down for a twenty, Mrs.

1) Dick Van Dyke
2) Dame Elizabeth Murdoch
3) Jerry Stiller

Can I have two shots at this?

Dick van Dyke, Doris Day and Mickey Rooney are still alive?

Why are our talented young stars like Delta and Kylie dropping off for, if these geriatrics are hanging around refusing to shuffle off this moral coil?

I'm tempted by the trifecta.

Barzan Ibrahim
Awad Hamed al-Bandar

Disqualified because they've already got one foot on the trapdoor?

Offensively old people (105+) and those facing execution are off the list. It seems unfair, somehow.

Congrats on your 3 year milestone. What a 3 years eh? I'm glad i found your site all that time ago.

Ok Ok, having been suitably chastised, my new picks are, Betty Ford, Lady Bird Johnson and to keep with the theme Nancy Reagan. Are they Kosher ms fits

they're fine, davethescot. I HOPE ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE EMAILING ME YOUR CONFIRMATIONS.

I got me Molly Meldrum (in the bathroom at Crown with the barbituates), Keith Richards, and Australian stunt motorbike rider The Kangaroo Kid.

Yes! No one picked them yet!

1. Pete Dogherty

2. Russell Crowe

3. Mary-Kate Olson

the last scientician - one less boring wanker on the planet.

that bastard Coreman for the hideous shit he writes on his blog - http://evissap-novelinprogress.blogspot.com - quite atrocious - he's no Peter Carey ... or Frank Hardy, for that matter. Calls himself a satirist, pah!

Schapelle Corby
Kevin Federline
Bert Newton

Bring it!

Thank you. (For answering my question.)

Hi Fits.

i'm going with HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

2. charles

3. camilla.

it's the year of di the ghost.

Methinks any of the following:

Britney
(sans underwear Britney)
K-Fed
(Popazao - say no more)
Tony Abbott
(for trying to make women feel guilty about they're right to choose)
Sally's death scene in Home and Away (does she or doesnt she?)

Ooh Schapelle...that's a good one.

Toadie.

Clint Eastwood (he's had a good run and someone should kill him for Million Dollar Baby)
Harry Potter (unlikely but I can dream)
Bruce Dawe (please no, I love your words so)

...and if I can't have Potter I'll have:
Gore Vidal (please no, you stick it to the hawks like no one else).
Actually, fuck Vidal. If not Potter:
Jonathan Safran Foer. Fuck him. Die in an extremely loud and incredibly close way.

PS – a freebie for someone: Dick Cheney. The Level 5 C-Smoker has had like 14 heart attacks and counting. Oh, and Viktor Yushchenko: dioxin is a damn slow killer. And I’d say Paul Newman but I think he’s been dead for a while, it’s just that Redford is controlling him via a series of strings and electrodes.

Being a new comer, I'm not gonna enter into this one. Also, 10 bucks is 10 bucks! I can get a 2 good soups down Victoria street for that kind of money people!
but some suggestions for those searching for a longy).

1. Peter O'Toole - he looks like a corpse last I saw him.
2. Albert Finney - might as well be dead
3. Tom Jones - The tears from the women of the world will flood the streets of many a city when this lecherous old man does his final shuffle.

shooting fish in a barrel, i'll add

Stan Zemanek

Dare I say...oh I will...Bob Ellis
and Cate Blanchett and Humphrey B Bear.

TAKE THAT BACK, NIO.

Okay not Humphrey B Bear then.
How about B1?

Talking about B1 reminds me that once upon a time B2 was gay. My flatmate went out with him. It gave Bananas in Pyjamas a whole new meaning for us, let me tell you.
Later he went out with a guy who dressed up like Carmen Miranda and we all used to wander the streets of Kings Cross singing at the top of our voices. Ah, those were the days.

Ms Fits,

Perhaps it is just out-loud musing.

When I consider who might actually cark it this year, I find there are plenty of folks I would hate to see depart this mortal coil.

But when I consider those I would actually LIKE TO SEE DEAD ... John W. Howard, for example, or Tony Abbott ... my little atheistic heart feels a little evil for thinking such a thought.

A few weeks ago, a female colleague whom I am not all that fond of announced that she was pregnant. I said to my husband later that day, "I hope she has bloody twins!"

Well, she came to work last week IN TEARS BECAUSE SHE IS EXPECTING TWINS!!! spooky.

But I guess I can cope with that.

In your own words, "Die you little cunt!" "Please."

(Please don't let my children hear that!)

I haven't read the comments so let me know of any of mine are taken. Same as last year:

Smokey Dawson
Phyllis Diller
Shirley Temple

You know, I am thinking that this is not a list of "likely" death candidates, but a general list of people we would not like to see around..... Maudlin much? lol

In that case, I would like money on Whitney Houston, and John Williamson.

Could we add a twist to this delightful morbidity? Can out list include not only who will die but also how.
Eg. Russell Crow dies after being attacked by a phone wielding flight attendant screaming, "Here's your fucking curry".
Just a thought

Nio Morton,

That's the funniest thing I've read all day!

:)

Bugger - should've checked in earlier to find out that one of my picks was already taken... I guess I ASSUMED that I would be told personally (yeah, yeah - ass, you, bum, whatever)

*sniff*

BEVIS - Michael J. Fox is my roughie. I had originally considered Pete Doherty (now taken AS WELL) but, as I said to MsF, I reckon our Pete is the next Keith Richards or, as Tall Dwarfs sang, The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

My replacement selection is....Norman Mailer.

Yvonne De Carlo. How did you miss that Statler? Didn't you go to school with her back in the Union days?

ive gone for kirk douglas. had him last year
